Treatments for Anxiety

Zita’s treatment approach combines psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore deeper emotional issues that may be contributing to their anxiety. Together, these approaches provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual.

Frequently Asked Questions about Anxiety Treatment

What is the best treatment for anxiety?
The most effective treatment for anxiety is psychotherapy, especially CBT, which targets the worried thoughts and avoidance that keep anxiety going. For some, medication from a psychiatrist helps too. We match the approach to you, and therapy alone is often enough.
Yes, but only on prescription from a licensed psychiatrist, and many anxiety medicines are controlled here. As a clinical psychologist I provide therapy rather than prescriptions, and can refer you to a trusted DHA-licensed psychiatrist if medication might help.
No. Prescription anxiety medication should never be taken without a doctor, and many are controlled in the UAE. Self-medicating is unsafe and can backfire. Therapy is an effective non-medication route, and a psychiatrist can advise if medication is appropriate.

Counseling for anxiety offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Emotional Support: Provides a safe space to express and process emotions.
  • Coping Strategies: Teaches effective coping mechanisms to manage anxiety symptoms.
  • Behavioral Changes: Helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
  • Improved Self-Esteem: Boosts confidence and self-worth through positive reinforcement.
  • Stress Reduction: Reduces stress levels by addressing underlying issues and developing relaxation techniques.

Talk therapy for anxiety involves discussing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a licensed therapist. It helps in identifying the root causes of anxiety, developing coping strategies, and changing negative thought patterns. Our clinic in Dubai offers various forms of talk therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, to effectively manage anxiety symptoms.

Depression and anxiety are effectively treated by licensed clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Treatment usually involves a combination of therapy, medication and lifestyle interventions. Our clinic in Dubai offers a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the most effective treatment for each individual.

It’s a quick grounding trick: name three things you can see, three sounds you can hear, then move three parts of your body. It pulls you out of spiralling worry and back into the present. We teach grounding skills like this in anxiety therapy.
Avoidance is the biggest one. Dodging what makes you anxious brings short-term relief but makes the fear grow over time. Excessive reassurance-seeking and doom-scrolling also feed it. Therapy gently reverses these patterns, which is exactly why anxiety improves.
Yes, antidepressants are legal when prescribed by a licensed doctor. Some are controlled, so never bring them in or take them without a valid prescription. A psychiatrist prescribes and monitors them; therapy can work alongside or instead, depending on your needs.
